Dr. Stephen Hart Manglos "Stever's", 59, of East Syracuse, NY, passed away in his home, surrounded by family, on April 14, 2015. Steve was born in Detroit, Michigan on August 23, 1955 to Clarence Keith Manglos and Barbara Manglos (nee Martin). He grew up in Michigan with his two brothers, Kurt and David Manglos.

They had their three children in Denver, Colorado before moving shortly to Durham, North Carolina and then settling for the last 27 years in East Syracuse, New York.

Steve battled chronic illness for 30 years, but never lost his faith in God's grace. In 2005, he received a multivisceral transplant from UPMC Pittsburgh. He was a very active member in his church and the Christian community until his illness kept him homebound. Steve was a pianist on many worship teams over the years and loved the outdoors. Even when very ill he would try to take long walks around his neighborhood. He loved his family very much.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Barbara Manglos. His is survived by his wife of 34 years, Carol Manglos; his children, Benjamin Manglos, Nicolette Manglos-Weber (Kurt Weber), and Christopher Manglos (Alicia Syers Manglos); and his two granddaughters, Naomi and Sophia Manglos; also his brothers, Kurt Manglos (Lorraine Manglos) of Anaheim, CA and David Manglos (Terri Manglos) of Austin, TX.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Starzl Transplant Institute, Pittsburgh, PA.

The Family would like to thank the many family, friends, and medical staff who loved, cared for and supported Steve throughout his illness.
